The Renaissance of the 12th Century

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Part of a continuing effort to fight the idea of "Dark Ages" by extending the Renaissance back further and further rather than just pointing out that the Dark Ages were a flawed and propagandistic concept to begin with?  (See also: Carolingian Renaissance of the 9th century)

Considering that no one speaks Latin or (ancient) Greek now, I suppose we are still in The Dark Ages. Good thing too.
